I think the age where multinationals enjoy a global political environment largely designed by the United States for their benefit will come to an end before middle of this century. BRIC states probably already have the mass to prevent further substantive aggrandizement of this global political environment, and will economically and politically outweigh the combined clout of the US and EU other champion and main beneficiary of this system by 2050.
I think that will finally draw down the curtain on the last vestige of the post-Cold War age, and dawn a new multipolar age where competition between different geopolitical interests of numerous major powers would become the norm and the chief driving force.
